#37: The Art and Science of Customer Surveys - With Martha Brooke, Founder and Program Director, Interaction Metrics


Listen Later

We’ve all taken surveys. 

Clearly some are better than others.

Well designed and implemented surveys can provide business leaders with actionable insights that improve retention, reduce cost to serve, and drive customers loyalty - if acted upon.

They can help companies serve their customers better and provide them with more value. Poorly designed surveys do just the opposite.

Martha Brooke is an expert when it comes to customer research. 

Martha shares some of the secrets of best in class survey design with power and passion.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What’s the primary problem with surveys today?
  • What are the 3 areas of differentiation for scientific research
  • How to ask provocative questions to increase market share
  • The art and science of surveys
  • The problem with most CX programs 
  • The power of 3rd party surveys
